Iranian President Raisi Abandons Interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour Who Refused to Wear Hijab
(CNN) Eliza Mackintosh - Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi withdrew from a long-planned interview with CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour in New York on Sep. 21, after she declined a last-minute demand to wear a head scarf. Amanpour, who grew up in Tehran, said she wears a head scarf while reporting in Iran to comply with the local laws and customs. But she said she would not cover her head to conduct an interview with an Iranian official inside a country where it is not required.
